Your credit card will not automatically be charged when the order is placed. Once your order is placed, your credit card will be in Pre-authorized status until the order is processed. This means that your credit card is checked for available funds to cover the calculated order charge, but not charged until invoicing and processing takes place.IMPORTANT INFO FOR ALL MULTI-PACKAGE, HEAVY WEIGHT ORDERS Large kit orders and orders with multiple heavy weight items require special attention by our shipping department. Shopping Cart Calculations for these orders are estimates only and must be reviewed by The Monster Makers Staff and authorized by the customer prior to shipping. When an order is placed for these items, a shipping cost estimate will be shown on your invoice and your credit will be pre-authorized for the calculated amount. Please be aware that under these circumstances, no credit card charges will be made on the credit card until the actual shipping charges are determined and approved by the customer. Please note also that shopping cart calculations can show significantly lower than actual shipping cost. If actual shipping charges turn out to be higher than what is shown on the invoice at the time of the order, the customer will be notified. Once approved by the customer, a second charge to cover the shipping difference may be required.
